I remember that little fight. I stood by and watched the thief Mage cast an entanglement spell, then everyone was stuck, and nobody was fighting nobody, and no conversation could take place, so i had to restart the game. The next time, I think I actually helped kill the thieves...I might have dropped an arroe or two at the mage. Anyway, after the fight, I was able to talk to one guy, and after he found out my intentions were sincere(that I posed no threat), that is when the real boss showed up. Is that not the case, Ertai???...I know you are there! I saw your familiar picking his nose!
